Support for Master Teaching Fellows
The program supports the development of Master Teaching Fellows through three phases.
Phase I focuses on the teachers themselves and on the improvement of their classroom practices by supporting teachers as they apply what they learn in monthly professional development sessions directly to their own classrooms.
Phase II focuses on the development of the Fellows' leadership skills, including learning how to lead sessions, learning how to present at conferences and learning how to develop a community of practice where they begin to mentor other teachers.
Phase III provides the opportunity for the Fellows to implement what they have learned about leadership while they continue to grow as teachers. In addition to presenting at conferences, the teacher leaders will design and implement professional development opportunities for other teachers.
